Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A stand of trees takes up half the evening and does not apologize.

Number 33 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, acrylic on board in a maple frame, from 2020 to 2024. Acrylic dries quickly, which generally rewards a painter who decides fast and leaves the brushwork showing. Dark, heavy foliage fills the right side, held up by a few pale gray trunks. To the left the sky goes from lilac to a band of salmon at the horizon, and a pinkish road runs out of the lower corner toward a dark line of hedges. The framed piece measures 7 by 7 inches; the image is 6 inches square.

The road leads off the edge, which is where the good walks go.
